This may be a stupid question but I'm confused by the position of 'le' in these two examples:
'Non, je ne le savais pas ' and 'Non, je ne sais pas le faire'
From looking at the first example I would have assumed the second sentence would be 'Je ne le sais pas faire' - please can you help?
Hi,
I was wondering when using être or avoir in the sentence below does it determine like it does when you use it in the idiomatic expressions?
L'étudiant n'est pas en classe. Il Sera encore endormi.
The student is not in class. He is probably still asleep
Cause I don't see the aura used here so I was wondering if it's similar when we learn about the idiomatic expressions.
Thank you
Nicole
I came across these examples: 1)" L'hôtel est rue.."My understanding from this lesson is that 'est rue' can only be used with se promener.2) The 2nd question pertains to whether dans or sur can be used with location E.g." L'hôtel est sur la rue.../la place... Could you clarify please.
or
Moi habite à Austin
In the ceci/cela lesson, cela dit is translated as 'that said' though the verb is in the present tense. Is there a 'rule' for this or is it simply idiomatic?
Merci!
Si qu'aiment-ils means 'what do they like" comment on dit "who do they like"???

It would be prettier if there were more flowers
Ce serait s'il y avait plus de fleurs is the answer again here they used serait as would be prettier. Why is that?
